Posted By: <b>mike rothstein</b><p>I picked this game up in April and would like to share it with you - I collect games from time to time but this one is in exceptional condition and that's what got me so excited!<br /><br />Danny Mac Fayden's Stove League Baseball Game<br /><br /><img src="http://www.nyyankeecards.com/players/damn.gif"><br /><br />He played in the bigs for 17 yrs; rookie year was 1926 - came up with the Red Sox. He played in 1 game and lost.<br /><br />In 1927 - he went 5 and 8 - his best year with the sox was 1935 where he went 16 and 12.<br /><br />He was traded to the Yanks in 1932 - and his best year was '33 when he went 7 and 3. <br /><br />He must have had some popularity to have a game made in his likeness but nothing unusual to report?<br /><br />Now the game! It's pristine!!!<br /><br />Outside cover:<br /><br /><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/stone193/Dan.jpg"><br /><br />Inside of cover - instructions:<br /><br /><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/stone193/Dan6.jpg"><br /><br />Outside of gameboard:<br /><br /><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/stone193/Dan5.jpg"><br /><br />Inside of gameboard:<br /><br /><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/stone193/Dan3.jpg"><br /><br />3rd part of the gameboard - all parts are attached to a heavy metal spiral:<br /><br />3rd part of the gameboard - all parts are attached to a metal spiral:<br /><br /><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/stone193/Dan4.jpg"><br /><br />Game pieces in original bag: this game has never been played!<br /><br /><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/stone193/Dan1.jpg"><br /><br />Note: did a little detective work - usually these bags are shut with staples - the scotch tape got me thinking?<br /><br />Yes, it was invented 1929 - production 1930 - so I date the production of the game about a year or two from the copyright - no big deal.<br /><br />Thanx for viewing and Happy Memorial Day!<br /><br />
